Assistant-
or Associate-Level Faculty Position in Islam and the Arts

Stanford University invites applications for a
tenure-track Assistant Professor or a tenured Associate Professor faculty
position in Islam and the Arts. The search is open to scholars focused on
Islamic religious arts and performance; non-religious artistic and literary
productions of the diverse cultures of Islamic societies; and scholar/artist
practitioners. The applicant must have a conferred terminal degree in
his/her field by September 1, 2018. The appointment can be in one of the
following departments in the School of Humanities and Sciences: Art and Art
History, Music, Theater and Performance Studies, or Comparative Literature.

The successful candidate will be based in a humanities department but is also
expected to contribute to the Abbasi Program in Islamic Studies’ curricular and
outreach efforts. Candidates should demonstrate interests that afford
effective interactions with a broad range of colleagues and the ability to
teach and mentor a diverse student body. Teaching responsibilities will be
determined by the home department.

Applicants should provide a cover letter including a brief statement of
research interests, a curriculum vitae including list of publications, and one
recent writing sample or, in the case of an arts practitioner, a link to the
applicant’s website. Assistant level and untenured applicants should
arrange to have three letters of reference submitted to AcademicJobsOnline.org. Currently tenured
applicants should submit the names of three references. For full consideration,
materials should be received by October 2, 2017.

Stanford University is an equal opportunity employer and is
committed to increasing the diversity of its faculty. It welcomes nominations
of, and applications from, women, members of minority groups, protected
veterans and individuals with disabilities, as well as others who would bring
additional dimensions to the university’s research, teaching and clinical
missions.
